Po Valley Energy

Po Valley Energy (ASX:PVE) is a leading independent gas company growing rapidly from quiet, results-driven beginnings. The Company currently operates exclusively in northern Italy exploiting the large hydrocarbon system, and it is on the verge of becoming a significant gas producer in the fast-growing and under-supplied Italian market as it brings its first fields into production.  

Po Valley's surface gas production plant at Castello in northern Italy has now been connected to the Italian pipeline grid. Under Po Valley’s gas marketing contracts gas from the Castello field will be metered and sold at the corner of the Castello site, implying no transportation costs and higher profit margin as a result.

Po Valley snares gas offtake and shares jump 22%

by Andrew McCrea company news image

Po Valley Energy (ASX:PVE) has announced a landmark first gas offtake agreement with Italtrading Spa from the company's northern Italy gas fields with a contract sales revenue of $A77.5 million (Euro38 million).

The agreement represents first sales revenue for part of planned production from the Sillaro and Castello gas fields in Italy.  Further agreements to cover the balance of production for the first three years from the Sillaro and Castello fields are expected to be announced in early 2009, the company said.

ITaltrading SpA is an established gas and energy company, part of the the larger AFIN Group, a private company with global turnover of Euro500 million in 2007.

Further gas fields will be brought into production progressively by Po Valley in mid-2009.

Po Valley CEO, Michael Masterman said, "bidding for the output from these two fields was intense, with 11 bidders negotatiating for the supply contract."  The strong interest co-incided with greater uncertainty in the Western European gas supply markets as Russia closed off gas supply to the Ukraine.

Offtake terms were based  on the ENI Gas Release price formula with the current price equating to $US14 per one thousand cubic feet of gas.

Castello has proved and probable (2P) gas reserves of 6.3 billion cubic feet (bcf) and is expected to have an initial production rate of 2.7 million cubic feet a day starting in June/July 2009. Sillaro has 2p gas reserves of 14 bcf, with an expected initial production rate of 3.8 mcfpd, starting in September/October 2009.

Comment

With likely further gas offtake agreements in early to mid-2009, Po Valley shares are likely to resume an uptrend that mirrors development companies that become producers.  With a tight share capital and in one of the strongest gas markets (in terms of gas prices and demand), PVE looks to be ideally placed in 2009.
